[CQ-Contest] Logging "QRP, or Mobile" contacts

The think that I don't like about signing /QRP is that it
makes it harder to figure out the callsign - esp. if the 
station calling is weak.  It happened more than once 
during the ARRL CW contest.  In the noise and QSB I hear:

JA3   /QRP   A    /QRP    JA   T  /QRP  /QRP  

Now if the staion would just send his callsign - it would be better. 
I never log the /QRP part.
